SaltyDonnie:Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Dr.Zom: I want to make a movie about over-sensitive conservatives freaking out about stuff so they can then freak out about my movie. It'll be like dividing by zero.

SaltyDonnie:stoli n coke: SaltyDonnie: phaseolus: ...star Jamie Foxx's monologue on Saturday Night Live a little over a week ago, in which he joked about being excited "to kill all the white people in the movie." ... In a typical NewsBusters post, Noel Sheppard cluelessly wrote, "Imagine the uproar if a white actor joked about killing all the black people in a new film he was starring in."

It's funny when a black actor makes that joke. A white guy joking about killing all the black people, that's not funny.

I invite Clueless Noel Sheppard to ponder why that's the case.

Yes, because a black never killed a white without justification. Ever, in history. Must be that "white privilege" justification to homicide.

Cry more. Jeez, I know the scawy bwack men do scawy bwack things that scawe you, but man up, Nancy.

A personal insult, right off the bat, that bears no relation to my comment, other than to try to imply racism that isn't there? Yawn. Must be Fark.

Just check out this gem:For slave owners and slave dealers in the New World, however, death of your human property cost you money, just as the death of your domestic animals would cause financial damage. And as with their horses and cows, slave owners took pride and care in breeding as many new slaves as possible. Rather than eliminating the slave population, profit-oriented masters wanted to produce as many new, young slaves as they could.

See, blacks? You might never had been had it not been for that kindly plantation owner who forced 2 people to breed.

So, basically, another in a long line of examples of white conservatives wringing their hands over the (patently absurd) belief that black people may come and drag them from their homes because of an absurdly hyperbolic piece of media obviously meant purely as over-the-top entertainment.

As if black people are some sort of mindless group of base animals easily led to severe action by simple stimulus in contradiction to all cultural and ethical mores and taboos they've been exposed to in their lives.

But don't you dare call them racists. No siree. It's perfectly normal and reasonable to think a group of people are going to turn into psychopaths over a goofy movie just because they have more skin pigmentation. Yep. Toooootally normal thing to believe.

White men! White women! The swastika is calling you. The sacred and ancient symbol of your race, since the beginning of time. The Jew is using The Black as muscle against you. And you are left there helpless. Well, what are you going to do about it, Whitey? Just sit there? Of course not! You are going to join with us. The members of the American Socialist White Peoples' Party. An organization of decent, law abiding white folk. Just like you!

What does politics have to do with any of this. I have no problem with him making a movie where the hero kills as many white people as he can, including the white guy that helped him along the way. This is America. Freedom of speech and all. I see movies for entertainment. There is nothing about vilifying and killing people of a certain race, in this case, my race.

I'll see the Tarantino film after this one. I am sure jango will so fine. There are plenty of people out there that do want to see people get massacred because they are white. That group will watch the movie over and over again

SaltyDonnie:Uchiha_Cycliste: One would think they would only have cause to be worried if they had previously behaved so despicably that they deserve to be a target. Isn't this like saying, "I have been such an incredible asshole to minorities that I deserve what's coming to me"? Why don't you just stop being such cock-waffles and you'll have nothing to worry about?

Yes, let's hold a whole group of people responsible for the actions of a few based on race. That's used to be called something, like racism, I think.

I think you are missing my point. I wasn't trying to imply that all white conservatives should be scared. Or really that any white conservatives should be scared because they are white conservatives. What I was trying to say, and apparently I did so very poorly was that anyone who was fearful of violence being done against them was probably a pretty awful person and probably deserves the violence; as such they should stop being such assholes and they would have no fears.

jso2897:It's a fair bet that whenever the spectacularly untalented Mr. Shakespeare makes a play, that it will be about somebody killing somebody else - doesn't matter who.F**k him and the wave of cultural trash he rode in on.

I live in a shanty in the shantytown.We have no money so we had to sleep on the ground.I played the music. My father he dig a ditch.My mother she do laundry life sure was a biatch.

But 'till we killed the white people. Ooh we gun make them hurt.Kill the white people yea. But buy my record first.Ooh yea. Why don't you buy my record?

We sing of freedom and ooh equality.But we really don't care we just want money money money.We want to drive in a big black limosine.Get so high off ganja we cant even see.and then we kill the white people. Ooh we gunna make them hurt.Kill the white people. Yea. Ooh but buy my record first ooh.

When u go in the record store. We gunna wait outside.We gunna hit them in the head with a bat and make them cry.but 'till we kill the white people.Yea but buy my record first.

His comments are a bit extreme, but he's right about a couple things. The for-profit prisons seek to incarcerate as many people as possible and our draconian drugs laws often treat addiction as a serious crime as opposed to a public health issue. Snatching someone and putting them in a cage for decades because they're a heroin addict probably isn't the most efficient solution. Nor is crowding our prison system and bleeding our resources fighting something as relatively harmless as marijuana.

But it gives you a totally legit way to keep down those damn minorities with disproportianate sentencing between whites and non-whites. Hey, once it's not legal to discriminate you gotta get sneaky, you know?

I wonder how many of them were also part of the Thor boycott for letting them cast a black man to play Heimdal.

I didn't boycott Thor, but Ithought it was a dumb choice. Guy did a good job, but it was a bit jarring to see a black dude running around in the home of Norse gods.

Oh come on. The Norse mythology in the Marvel Universe is all over the map. A frost giant named Laufey. That one makes a lot of sense.

Laufey (to a kid reading comics) sounds like Loki.

I realize we are talking about Marvel comics here, not some great work of literature, but throwing a black guy in asgaard was a departure that served no purpose. I can just see some movie exec thinking they need a black character and tossing him in.

What I find is funny is that people complained about a black person playing Asgaard and you saying it doesn't make sense to throw a black person into Norse mythology even if it is the Marvel version, but you don't bat an eye at an Asian person being thrown in with Hogun.

Once again, fark delivers when it comes to massively stupid comments.

What I thought. You have no farking idea what you're on about.

No, you twat, I was busy with other things.

Changing Thor's hair color from red to blonde is a relatively minor issue, as both hair colors can be found amongst the Norse peoples. Throwing an Asian into the mix is another thing entirely as you are adding someone of another race from a different part of the world. So yes, your comment was stupid.

Actually one of Thor's defining characteristics from the myths was his fiery red hair. Yet no one bats an eye. Not that I care either way. I just think it's stupid people care about the changes at all. It's Marvel's interpretation. They can do whatever the fark they want.

From now on, any movie about a guy with a magic hammer who crosses over from another dimension should be historically accurate, dammit!

/Actually, it's the free market that makes filmmakers cast minorities in parts traditionally played by whites. They just want to make money and appeal to as wide an audience as possible. Why do you hate the free market, comrade?
